CHRISTMAS MORNING.

Keen blew the wind across the naked void.
Glimmered the snow fields white. 7
Aweary with longing. doubt and pain,
watched the silent night.
All, mel Joy comes and goes, but grief remains
My days shall comfort bring;
But harkl Upon the frosty winter air
The Christmas chimings ring.
And, like guilty ghost at breath of dawn,
My coward meanings fly;
Echoes again tn adoring song that woke
Beneath Judea's sky.
And sweeter, clearer, louder, chime ON chime,
Ring out, o, happy bellsl
For every peal with jubiant refrain,
The wondrous tidings tells.

IN BRIEF, And to the point. Dys-
pepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is
misery. Indigestion is foe to good
nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits. and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flowers has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo-
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flowers
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggists for bottle.

afternoon special order. Many of the members
upon whom he relied for assistance were absent
on the iunketing trip to Bloomington, and were
not expected until 4:30 o'clock. He therefore
had the bill postponed nutil o'clock, with the
hope of getting the committees report thereon
read SO il can come up as unfinished business to-
day. Representative Jewett was equally COP
cerned about his labor bill, that the Senate had
materially amended and then passed. When
the House had gone through with tho call of
counties for the introduction of bills and heard
several minor messages from the Governor, the
Jewett bill was called up. very much to the un-
easiness of Representative Foster, who thought
failure only lay ahead Of his purpose. Repre-
sentative Jewett in advocating a concurrence in
the Senate amendments, said they did not suit
him, but rather than have the bill fail he would
ask the House to adopt them This was finally
done, and thereafter the Foster bill was put in
shape to be taken up this morning.
The Senate was uninteresting, even AS to
probabilities, unless the promise of a heated
discussion on a non-partisan government of the
new insane hospitals is fulfilled. Senator Rahm
introduced a bill three weeks ago to provide a
board of four trustees for each hospital as soon
as it is completed. They are to be appointed by
the Governor, who is required to take two from
each of the two great parties. When each
board is selected, with the advice and consent of
the Senate, it is to meet with the board of COM
missioners having charge of the construction of
the hospitals, and appoint medical superin-
tendent for its hospital The superintendent is
to have the power to select and employ assist
ant physicians, clerks, attendants skilled work
ers and servants for the hospital Of which he has
charge. 1t is proposed by the Bailey party to
annihilate the bill, particularly as to the non
partisan features give the appointments of
superintendent staff physicians and all other
people necessary to manage the institutions to
their respective boards, and after the first APP
General Assembly the power to elect future
members of the boards.

or with the occurrence of certain fruits
which are found in heaps and clusters,
together with many other facts of like
nature leading to similar conclusions,
convince us that these objects have
never been subjected to drift, but were
buried on the spots where they lived
and fourished. We quote these evil
dences of the perfect preservation of
fragile plants and of fruits Of remote
age as an important reason why further
inquiry as to its cause should be made.
If these plants were suddenly miners
ed in fluid which excluded light and
air and preserved them while becom-
ing solid, it is analogous to the preser-
walton of plants and insects in gum
copal, and does not require unusual ar
guments to obtain relief. The presence
of trees standing upright where they
grew and imbedded in coal suggested
probability of immersion in the same
way. The recent discoveries of inn
mense deposits of petroleum in subter-
ranean cavities or streams suggests the
theory which is here offered-that this
"mineral oil" as it was first called,
may be the origin of coal and not its
product. Note the thickness of many
strata of coal-some are sixty feet
thick and are of uniform structure
with slate Of limestone floors and roofs;
and coal also has qualification closely
resembling stratified rocks which de-
serves attention. Petroleum, bitumen
and asphaltum are classed together as
of a similar nature, although the first
is liquid and the last-named a solid.
We find great difficulty in believing
petroleum to be vegetable product.
If any species of vegetation yielded
more resinous or oily products in FORM
or ages than those of to-day, these
products were either drawn from the
Garth, water or air to supply the vege-
tation that held them. 1t also seems
unreasonable to have so much vegeta-
ton derived from the vegetable fiber,
when the entire growth of vegetation of
any soil or climate appears Inadequate
to represent uniform body of coal
